La Boca

Last night, we met up with Lauren & Jess from the other apartment and went to Palermo Hollywood! The Bar, Roxy, played a lot of American 80s music so we enjoyed listening to the porteños rock out old-style!

La Boca is another neighborhood of Buenos Aires that has a huge market on Sundays. We got some obligatory shopping done and enjoyed looking at the colored buildings and all the souvenirs!

Hand-painted mate cups
A small mall in the middle of La Boca
Tango dancers (they're everywhere)
A classic snack- candy apples with popcorn "manzanas dulces"
It's everywhere!
On our bus ride back, we saw a silver Mazda MPV, my old car!
I bought a tango photograph, a cool poster, two mate cups, two shotglasses (for Maria's collection) and pearl earrings! It's nice to relax on the weekends, but we know we'll never get that time back so we try accomplishing an area of town or a site to see every time we can. I'm excited for another busy work week!

Congratulations to Maria on her high school graduation today!
